Louisvillve barely gets 45k/game and isn't exactly 'Bama or Texas. Their revenue is through hoops.

Because football brings revenue. Basketball does not.

But Louisville has a little bit of football history. They have had teams in the top 10 for more than 3 seasons. Huge difference between UConn.

You call that history?

When comparing UConn and Louisville, we don't have any history or moments of success.

We've been getting players into the NFL since the 1920s.

I'm sure every school puts players into the NFL at some point. Don't get me wrong, I'm a UConn fan but I'm not going to sugarcoat our success. Ever since 1896 we've fielded a football team. Our best moment was a kick that sent us to a lower-tier BCS bowl game, where we got smacked by a good football school.

I'm not going to pretend that UConn has a good football program, but did you catch it that one year where we went to the Fiesta Bowl?

Louisville is not an impressive football program either. Period. More bowls, fine. But they're not a player.

We have our own market, while UL has to compete with Kentucky.

The funniest part is that we add much more value than a lot of the ACC schools criticizing us. They just don't like Yankees, or 10 national championships (men's and women's)

There are multiple components to this. Football money is key. Size of Media Market is Key. Good all around Athletics is key. Also very key and mentioned repeatedly in papers in Research Triangle is Academic reputation. CT has a better Academic reputation than the others. It is easier to build a bigger football stadium than it is to move up Academically. When looking at the whole package CT has it. All of this being said I would rather have seen the Big East fight to rebuild then to give in to the land grabbing. I dont feel inferior as a member of the Big East. I would rather be a CT fan in the Big East then a Cuse fan in the ACC. Big East means something to me.

Neither do they.

UConn's win over South Carolina is at least as interesting as Louisville's win over whomever.

in reading the GTech, NCState, etc boards, nobody seems to want UCONN. Want Louisville or no one. UCONN is seen as adding no value. Just passing along info.

bball boards or football?
